My letters are actually secured with what appears to be aquarium air 
tubing.  It works pretty good too.  Just cut enough to fit over the stub 
and leave a little extra, and then push it own securely down to the base.

Someone else recommended small diameter hose.  I use something similar.
Very short lengths of PVC hose sliced in hald and a hold drilled in the
center.  Works well, inexpensive and easy to remove without breaking the
prongs.
